The Breakdown of Words.

Our system of language could very well be inadequate, especially as we use words to define it. “words, words, words,” quotes Hamlet in the famous play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, and I don’t blame him. “What are you reading?” he was asked, and so he responded with the truth. Words cannot be described, they’re just, words; there is no breakdown. According to Antonio Porchia, “what words say does not last. The words last. Because words are always the same, and what they say is never the same.” Words are ever-changing. I mean something, someone thinks it means something else, another thinks it means something else. Yes, words are inadequate; why do you think there is so much confusion in the world? People are unable to properly express themselves by way of speech. It is greatly flawed, and it is the one thing that can keep us together, or rip us apart.
